China art museum is former China pavilion of EXPO 2010 at Shanghai. At the time it took more than 5 hours to wait in line in order to visit China pavilion as there are many precious exhibitions and the famous re-adapted animation of most renowned painting "Alongside the river during the Qingming festival" which is was painted about 1000 years ago. Luckily, the animation film is the only exhibition that is stays in the China pavilion. After 7 years I have the chance to pay a visit, and no waiting line anymore.
当年的世博会比较遗憾的一点是因为太懒所以快到中饭的时间才去的，结果所有热门场馆比如中国馆沙特馆都因为队伍太长没能进去看看，据说都是要排队5小时以上，反正到处都是黑压压的人群以及看不到尽头的队伍。那次去也没有经验，传说中的神器小板凳没有买，最后真的是感觉腿都要排断了也没进去几个馆，当时还是热到崩溃的夏天，正所谓不去世博会后悔，去了以后更后悔。现在基本上所有的场馆都已经拆除，包括保留时间很长的沙特馆月亮船好像是去年最后拆的，也因为懒一直没去就这么拆了也没去看一看。。。这次开车去就停在了月亮船的遗址，售票处还在但已经改造成了停车场，有点遗憾啊。中国馆据说其他的展览也全部拆光，只留了个传说中的清明上河图可以看，整个建筑也改成了中华艺术宫这么个高大上的名字，倒是对的上这么一个中国气息浓厚，绰号是中国麻将桌的宏伟建筑。时隔7年再次来到中国馆也是蛮感慨的，自申办成功以后上海忙乎了10年，马路上的标语全是喜迎世博，就连地铁都赶着在世博之前开通了好多条，即使在馆内参观的时候耳边响起的也都是追忆当年的对话，有带着孩子来回忆当时来谈恋爱的情形的，有大叔大妈来回忆当年怎么搞免费票子的，还有学生回忆当年早起排队就为了一票难求的中国馆的，有这么一份时代的回忆也是非常珍贵呢。
Check how tall is the building
The garden 空中花园，可惜还没开放
"Alongside the river during the Qingming festival"
清明上河图
It is hard to show but actually people are moving and there are background sounds to make it like an IMAX movie
很壮观，像是在看栩栩如生的古代电影

This is an interesting antique exhibition : leather silhouette show from Qing dynasty which is 100-300 years ago. At the time it was showed in most villages in China as a form of amusing and education.
皮影戏的展览很有意思，而且都是清朝时期的文物，那个时候皮影戏是广大农村人民的娱乐方式。
